Shots

Maggie had a doctor's appointment this morning. She got weighed (a whopping 10 pounds already!), measured (21 inches), and poked and prodded, and all was very going well. The doctor commented on how strong she is and how healthy she seems to be. She laid there on the doctor's table, happily looking around, and even smiling once or twice.

Then in came the nurse with the shot. Jared held Maggie's hand, and as she looked at him with complete and utter trust, she was suddenly jabbed with the needle and let out a howl. Let's just say that there were many tears shed, and not all of them were Maggie's.

All in all, it was a good appointment, and we are happy that Maggie seems to be growing healthy and strong. The only downside: our next appointment is coming up in a few weeks, and Maggie will not be given one shot...she will be given several. We better bring the Kleenex.
